The robbery was according to the report seen as sacrilege by the church members.
“Not a single item was left. The only microphone spared by their filthy hands was the one kept in daddy’s office. I guess it was spared due to oversight. Every other item connected to music was taken away, though no cash was stolen because as a rule, we don’t keep cash in premises,” a church member told the paper.
